Lovie Smith impressed with rookie offensive linemen

After starting the season 1-3, most Bucs fans are having a hard time looking past all the negatives and finding a few positives. It may be hard to believe, but the entire team isn’t playing like a 1-3 squad. While addressing to the media this week Head Coach Lovie Smith has spoken highly of a few players.

He said that RB Doug Martin is one of the few guys on the team playing “winning football” right now. That’s hard to argue with after Martin’s 20 carries for 106 yards and a TD against Carolina on Sunday. When watching Martin you can tell that he is really giving 110% effort on every play, too.
